This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0RPKX4Z

UNSPSC 85711923 Removal of internal fixation device from left shoulder joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The five opportunities posted under this code in recent months span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison comprehensive healthcare contract), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica). None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical services, removal of medical devices, or shoulder joint procedures; the code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to these health services contracts. The nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not match any of the work actually being procured.

No state and local procurement activity directly relevant to the removal of internal fixation devices from shoulder joints appears in the recent opportunities block. Business development professionals should verify whether this code correctly describes the target market, or whether the coding reflects data-quality issues in the sourcing system rather than genuine state and local demand for this orthopedic service line.
